Joke comments aside, just because we use black a lot doesn’t mean we don’t use other colors. A fashionable goth can style just about anything.
Just uhh don’t look in my closet, behind the skeletons
Umm… What are you… nvm.
Also, are we not going to address your username being in gothic font? (don’t curse me pls)
Let’s not discard my Cybergoth phase. I had plenty of colours, as long as they were neon
You can’t just go around in life cosplaying cyberpunk 2077 or mortal kombat outside some kind of nerd convention willy nilly. We live in society. There are rules.
Yes, one of the rules is to never confuse Cyberpunk with Cybergoth. It’s mildly acceptable to conflate it with gravers (Goth Ravers), but not if you want to make friends.
We live in society. There are rules.
Nobody has more rules than hyper niche cliques. If your locks had foam, you were very clearly deeply wrong about the actual deep meaning of whatever we imagined ourselves to be about and you’re doing everything wrong.
You might be hard pressed to find any cybergoths in the wild, though looking at current fashion, maybe I should dig up some stuff.
This is fascinating, confusing and somewhat concerning all at the same time. How can someone be a goth raver? Is bipolar disorder required? If so, are they taking in new members?
Yeah I’ve also seen the gatekeeping and purity tests that come with these tribal arrangements in all of their variations. This is such common issue for me that at some point I had to make a gif about
the role people sometimes assume.
I don’t think I’ve seen any in the wild, at least based on what I saw come up in a few searches. They look like fascinating life forms though. I wonder if they’re nocturnal or just crepuscular and what their feeding habits are. Nature truly is a marvelous thing.
Thanks for the fun reply. Just maybe stay away from glow sticks for a while if you don’t want to relapse.
That’s because they peaked in the first couple of centuries AD, color wasn’t invented until way later
Colors distract from the suffering.
There’s always pastel goths
Is that a thing?
The model in the image you linked still looks basically monochrome …
Ok but I meant vanilla goths. Not these new modded versions.
Lol these aren’t new they’ve been around forever
What does ‘goth’ mean these days? Would Robert Smith recognise his own?
It’s a subculture that is both hard to define but also obvious when you encounter it. I think he’d still recognize it, especially now that so much of the community has been pushed to be vocally anti fascist, which kinda brings it back around to its punk roots.
In the olden days it used to be defined by a specific music genre (and even today you have purists who complain about anything that isn’t goth rock) but it has changed a lot over the decades. I’d loosely define the modern goth as a counterculture movement based around music, art, and a fascination with the morbid, heavily concentrated around major cities. The only real gatekeeping nowadays (from the adults at least) is to keep fascists and creeps the fuck away.
The scene is gonna change a lot depending on where you are. The two I personally know best are NYC’s and Toronto’s.
They’re new in the geological time frame I live in, young goth.
Stop theres often red involved!
ok ok… Schindler’s list then
bro doesn’t even know about bubblegum goths, lmao
There’s no way that’s a thing
